                      don’t look to what you are doing
                      look to the mind with which you are doing it

                      don’t become embroiled in what you are doing
                      look from the calm from which it emerges

                      don’t get locked into what you are doing
                      be fluid in the doing of it

                      don’t become lost in what you are doing
                      become centred even when confused

 

 

 

and there is my practice

 

 

 

                           mind
                is such a constant froth
                           of a lifetime
                           of lifetimes’ pictures and landscapes

                           meditation
                becomes aware of them
                           like a light
                           if not wielded too clumsily

                                     and there is my practice

                           writing
                becomes the record of the awareness
                           the light
                           to pass on to others

                out of the emptiness of conversation comes

                           ‘1/3 off hugs with the girls –
                           because you can’t get
                           so much gossip into a text’

                stare deep into her eyes hold the other’s
                shoulder she’s next this is what we do
